Listening to Shao Shuaijun's consideration, Lao Bai hurriedly said.

"I originally planned to shoot Hong Kong films, Golden Harvest is a veteran film company in Hong Kong, and it is normal and reasonable to shoot a Fengyue film. Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as South Korea and Japan, are all our box office, as long as the film is filmed well, the movie will not worry about losing money. It doesn't have to be IMAX-3D, it can be IMAX, 3D, or 2D. I just wish I could use IMAX-3D. I heard that Mr. Shao has opened the Dream Chasing New Film Technology Research Institute, and the research projects include IMAX-3D, isn't Mr. Shao looking forward to the birth of an IMAX-3D live-action film in your hands? I heard that there is a Cameron in the United States who is making the IMAX-3D movie "Avatar", this movie is very simple, as long as the shooting is in place, it can be released before him, this is the real world's first IMAX-3D live-action movie! ”

"This ......" Shao Shuaijun groaned, and a fool didn't want to snatch the title of number one. The content of "Avatar" is also average, and it relied on an IMAX-3D movie gimmick to win the miracle box office, and its name has been engraved in film history. Why this name cannot be replaced with a Chinese name.

"Mr. Shao, if you agree, you will be the director, and I will be satisfied with you!"

Shao Shuaijun smiled: "I'm just thinking about whether to invest or not, if you invest, you will do your book director." I'm a little worried right now. ”

"The investment in the film is not large, and the scenes and props are very simple. It just takes a little bit of IMAX-3D technology. Hasn't IMAX developed a digital version of IMAX-3D camera technology, although it is weaker than the real IMAX, but this is IMAX-3D, not a fake of "Superman Returns", no one can grab the title! If you don't think it's good, IMAX-3D doesn't want it, it's just 2D, and I'll give you a blockbuster movie! Lao Bai said excitedly.

Knocking on his thigh, Shao Shuaijun thought a little complicated, and it took a while for Huo Ran to stand up: "Okay." Just shoot "IMAX-3D Yupu Tuan". If you want to do it, make it big, IMAX-3D, I want it! ”

Lao Bai slapped his thigh: "Really? Mr. Shao, in fact, you can shoot 2D. Embarrassing words. It doesn't have to be IMAX-3D. ”

"Strange. Don't you like IMAX-3D very much? ”

Lao Bai was stunned: "Of course, of course I want to shoot, Mr. Shao." You agreed. ”

"Agreed, at most, it's just a box office loss, I think it's worth it when I buy this reputation!" Shao Shuaijun waved his hand and said firmly. He has a fanatical pursuit of high-tech film technology.

"Haha, that's great!" Lao Bai was overjoyed, and then thought of something, "Mr. Shao, you still have to introduce me to one or two professionals, this is ...... I don't understand this IMAX-3D. ”

Shao Shuaijun blinked his eyes, what Lao Bai said just now was so mysterious, he was fooling him at all, he didn't understand what IMAX-3D was at all. However, Shao Shuaijun doesn't care, he decided to shoot, not because he was fooled by Lao Bai, but because he really wanted to shoot: "It's okay, you don't understand a little bit, you do it, you do it, I will do it as a producer and producer, I will invite the most professional IMAX-3D talents from the United States, you just need to do a good job of the script, master the crew, and don't need to worry about the filming format." ”

"Cheng, IMAX-3D Mr. Shao is in charge, I'll worry about the crew!"

"It's not early, call my sister-in-law, and I'll invite you to dinner." Shao Shuaijun made a decision, no longer embarrassed, called Li Xiuxiu, and went to the hotel together.

Waiting for Li Xiuxiu to come over, Lao Bai and Sister-in-law Bai greeted each other warmly: "This is Mr. Li, hello, hello." ”

"Brother Bai and sister-in-law Bai, you guys are good, I heard Ah Jun talk about you, thank you Brother Bai for enlightening Ah Jun, he always drilled the horns of the bull during that time."

"It's all trivial, you two are a match made in heaven. One is a virtuous helper who helps Mr. Shao manage the company, and the other is a champion who is talented. The last time I read the newspaper, Mr. Shao said that he had a partner, and he didn't know how many people he envied and how many people shed tears. ”

Li Xiuxiu smiled sweetly at Shao Shuaijun. Shao Shuaijun did not hide his feelings like ordinary celebrities, and generously admitted that this is more romantic for women than in private.

Shao Shuaijun laughed: "Let them envy them." By the way, Lao Bai, don't talk about Mr. Shao, just call me Ah Jun, it's rare for the two of us to have a lot of common language, what are you doing with such a life. ”

"That's okay, I'll call you Ah Jun."

Eating and chatting, soon, Shao Shuaijun and Bai Jifei chatted about "IMAX-3D Yupu Tuan" again, discussing the plot and discussing the sub-shots, and they were very happy. This can make Li Xiuxiu depressed, listening to the conversation between these two, all kinds of pickled words pop up from time to time, they are simply two obscene erotic maniacs.

"Ah Jun, Lao Bai, what are you talking about!"

Shao Shuaijun suddenly smiled: "We are working on a movie, IMAX-3D format. ”

"What movie?"

"IMAX-3D Jade Pu Tuan."

"What is this?"

"It's just one, uh, Fengyue film."

Lee so-so screamed: "You want to shoot an IMAX-3D format...... This kind of film? Are your brains burned out? ”

Lao Bai laughed: "I can't say that, this will be a Hong Kong movie, and Fengyue films are also an indispensable part of Hong Kong movies." The world's first live-action IMAX-3D format movie, or the first movie with the theme of Fengyue, this gimmick is full of gimmicks, not only in Asia, but also in the international is not difficult. ”

"Relying on such a movie to break out of the world?" Li Xiuxiu really couldn't understand the thoughts of the two.

Shao Shuaijun also blushed slightly, coughed and said: "For a good movie, we should abandon those colored glasses and correctly examine the structure of the film, the content of the narrative and the contemplation of the theme." This "IMAX-3D Jade Pu Tuan". It is in line with the overall idea of a good movie. There is nothing wrong with investing in Dream Chasing Golden Harvest, right? ”

Li Xiuxiu turned her face and hummed: "Anyway, in my opinion, this is unhealthy content, didn't you just say that entertainment content should also be positive and healthy." Make such a movie, aren't you afraid of others scolding you? ”

"There's nothing to scold, the first is not released in China, the second is reviewed for adults according to the three-level system, and the third movie is also a good guide. We also wanted to make a low-budget film. Let's test the effect of IMAX's latest IMAX-3D digital photography. Accumulate the foundation for future full-scale IMAX-3D productions. You know, it's cool to shoot fun. ”

"You always have a point." Li Xiuxiu said angrily and funny.

Anyway, this "IMAX-3D Yupu Group" was decided like this, and the project was sent to Dream Chasing Golden Harvest that night. The next day's decision-making meeting. The executives who have long been impressed by Shao Shuaijun's magic. There were no objections. Unanimously passed.

In Hong Kong, it is normal to shoot such a Fengyue film, like Emperor, Media Asia, and Huanyu have all shot this kind of movie. Fengyue is an integral part of Hong Kong's culture. Many countries and regions in the world also have this kind of cultural composition, especially Japan, which is simply popular, and this will also be the largest box office of "IMAX-3D".

Lao Bai didn't stay long, and rushed to Hong Kong the next day to prepare the crew, and Shao Shuaijun will also go to the United States to contact professionals to join, using new electrical technology as a platform to participate in this epoch-making Fengyue film.

"Since it is mainly targeting the Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japanese markets, what do I mean, when casting, we should consider more actors from Baodao and Japan, and strive to create a multinational blockbuster. This has to be the most advanced technology IMAX-3D shooting, but also the most luxurious scenes and props, and the actors have to be the most beautiful and dazzling. Lao Bai, I hope you can understand, I will supervise the whole process, the rules and regulations of the set, you must arrest it. We are filming Fengyue films, but the scene must be absolutely rigorous and serious, and there must not be anything that corrupts the atmosphere. ”

Before leaving, Shao Shuaijun told Lao Bai. He is more of a reward for Lao Bai taking charge of this shooting plan, hoping that Lao Bai can realize his dream and become a big director, rather than the kind of last-rate director who shoots one shot for another. To become a qualified director, the lack of character is okay, but there must be a set system.

Work and private work must be separated and clearly distinguished. It can no longer be salty and wet.

On May 9, Shao Shuaijun flew to the United States. The release of "500 Days with Shamo" must be arranged, and the IMAX-3D team must also be contacted.

In this year's summer file, Summit Entertainment's independently produced "Dance Out of My Life 2" and "Twilight: New Moon" will launch an offensive in the summer file, one will be released in June and the other in July. In order to avoid the collision of schedules, "500 Days with Shamo" will inevitably be postponed, and now I am considering whether to squeeze into the last train of the summer file in August, or withdraw from the summer file and specialize in non-schedules.

"To be honest, although there are no too good movies on the August schedule, I still tend to release them on the off-schedule period. The movie is not aimed at teenagers, but more for urban men and women, and watching a love movie with a small and fresh taste after work is a very good choice, isn't it? To the publicity team of "500 Days with Shamo", Shao Shuaijun said.

Mitchell asked, "Shao, you don't seem to be very optimistic about Shamo's box office?" ”

"It can't be said that it is not optimistic, it can only be said that the potential is limited. There are no special effects, no fights, no magic, no superstars, and even love is fragmented, this kind of movie is more suitable for buying a DVD and tasting it alone at home. Fortunately, the movie didn't even cost $10 million, and it's certain that it will be earned, so don't expect too much. ”

Not every movie is "Juno", a few million can be exchanged for 200 million US dollars, at least the original Shamo has a good review, but the box office is not too high, it seems to be only tens of millions of dollars. This version, after Shao Shuaijun's modification, coupled with the adjustment of the cast, and the expansion of publicity, it should be possible to exceed the original version, but how much, Shao Shuaijun is not a god, I can't say.

"Then we're going to set it for September? It was successful in the United States, and it was scheduled to be released in China and other countries after October, just to avoid the time period of the Olympics. ”

"Then let's decide it, the propaganda is handed over to you, and I may not have time then."

After handling the release of his own movie, Shao Shuaijun began to look for a professional IMAX-3D team. At the beginning of 08, IMAX has invented a new IMAX-3D photography technology, which belongs to the category of digital photography, and the effect is about 4K resolution, which is still some distance from the real 6K IMAX, but at present, it can meet the light and dark conflict of IMAX-3D.

In fact, it was developed so quickly, thanks to the blessing of "Avatar", "Avatar" was originally filmed in 3D, but Cameron wanted to try IMAX, and IMAX participated in the production of "Avatar" in order to compromise with digital films, and developed a digital version of IMAX-3D photography technology.

It's just that in this day and age, directors are still skeptical of IMAX and 3D, and few are willing to adopt this technology. are waiting to see the effect of "Avatar" after it comes out, and then make a decision, which has contributed to the future "Avatar" eating crabs first and sweeping the world, once again making Cameron's title of "King of the World" more solid.

Now Shao Shuaijun wants to pick peaches first, and the IMAX-3D shooting blockbuster must have a long cycle, and he can't grab "Avatar". Ordinary movies don't need IMAX-3D effects. Come to think of it, only the theme of Fengyue film, which has a simple scene, can be produced in IMAX-3D format in a short time, and it can cooperate well with the effect.

Otherwise, Shao Shuaijun just wants the title of IMAX-3D again, and he will not waste one or two million dollars to make a Fengyue film. That's right, the investment in "IMAX-3D Jade Putuan" is likely to be huge, and it is likely to require more than 100 million yuan in production costs for the IMAX-3D format.

A Fengyue film, with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, only Shao Shuaijun, who has a lot of money, has the courage to do it.

For Shao Shuaijun to find IMAX again, the company's president, Robert . Cole warmly welcomed, and then signed a contract, IMAX will send someone to help Dream Chasing Golden Harvest to provide IMAX-3D technical services for "IMAX-3D Yupu Group". Although the cooperation of "Night Watchman" ended in failure, Shao Shuaijun's pioneering use of technology still made IMAX very grateful, and the two sides cooperated well.

In fact, Dream Entertainment and IMAX are recently negotiating a big cooperation plan, which is to cooperate with Wanda Cinema Line and Golden Harvest Cinema in the mainland to build IMAX theaters. This plan is led by Shao Shuaijun, and Wanda Group, Dream Group, and Dream Chase Jiahe will all participate.

The negotiations were arduous, but once they were negotiated, at least 100 IMAX theaters would be built on the mainland. It also indicates that Dream Chasing Entertainment is about to enter the cinema business in a big way, and it also announces that Chinese film projection has entered the era of huge screens!

A digital movie, an IMAX theater, these are the two main directions of future dreaming, of course, 3D is also the direction of research.

Reaching an agreement with IMAX, Shao Shuaijun contacted a group of IMAX photography professionals. This includes Hatton, the cinematographer of "Night Watch" and "Inception". Barry, now Hatton has become a talent, and many movies have invited him to be a cinematographer. It's just that he's not interested in those small productions, and now he's only interested in IMAX photography, so he's still unemployed at home.

When he heard that he was going to shoot an IMAX-3D movie, Hatton agreed without saying a word.

"I love this work, going to Hong Kong to make a film? No problem, I love Hong Kong, Bruce Lee and Cheng Long! I like to go to Hong Kong to make movies, and what about Fengyue films, this is also art! (To be continued......)
